Hello.

I am about to expand my system. This includes buying a scsi adaptor
and most probably a JAZ drive. 
I've been reading up about the SCSI adaptors and the JAZ drive, to me 
it sounds like a good idea, (to get me off tape backups and also
being able to have the extra space as a drive).

The question is what recomandations do people have about apators?
I saw apost about a NCR adaptor and adaptec, being compaired to 
AMD and Intel. The JAZ drive "recommends" it's own company adaptors
these are based on the adaptec 7800 family (2390/2490), and the other
on the Advanced Systems chipset.

I was thinking of getting the adaptec 2490UW, so does anybody know 
what the NCR version is and it's price? Or does anybody have problems
with any of these and recommends anything else?

Has anybody had any problems with the JAZ drive, I've heard of a couple
of people who have had bad sectors on new disks, how common is this?

thanks, any info would be great.
